You may have already seen this, but...
Companies have been doing that for a while.

Softnyx makes tons of free to play games but they make all their money by selling items to players online. For people who have the money to waste ... cool. For people who don't ... the games are usually boring after a while.
EDIT: Also players always find ways of using Ebay to sell items and accounts online.

None.
But the thing that struck me about this article is how it's presented... The system is tricking you into paying thousands of dollars just to stand a chance in PvP.
None.
The system is tricking idiots. Let them exploit those people all they want.
None.
The inventor is a fucking genius and is a fucking shady character...
All those pl;ayers are idiots.

Ultraviolet -- I suppose we'll likely never know, but my guess would be that they already saw it operating successfully and there was no monetary incentive to finish the original work. And the dev cycle in old school Blizzard was so hectic, it's possible it just got forgotten about after the original game got released. Plus there's an element of existing MPQ files that were packaged with the original discs becoming outdated if they updated it. And it's not like they remade the original MPQs, they just made new ones for BW specifically[2026-6-21. : 4:26 am]
Oh_Man -- so that makes me think maybe the theory they are unfinished is not true and its a deliberate design decision, coz why not finish them wen ur making brood war?[2026-6-21. : 4:25 am]
Oh_Man -- the thing is thos buildings are from classic. that means they went ahead and made brood war without ever finishing the 'unfinished' buildings[2026-6-20. : 6:15 pm]
Ultraviolet -- Yeah he's talked about a lot of that stuff in his casts before. It seems plausible. Especially knowing how Blizzard of yesteryear operated.[2026-6-20. : 3:47 pm]
NudeRaider -- to clarify: couldn't recall the behavior for every single Protoss building but I was aware the disparity exists.[2026-6-20. : 3:43 pm]
NudeRaider -- Contained nothing new for me. Didn't know all building's behavior, but very much all unit's. Also Terran balance whine - also nothing new
